Hey all. Bubba's been doing good the past couple weeks I would say. He loves eating fruit flies! He'll eat the pinhead crickets but I think he likes the fruit flies more. (Might have something to do with the cricket jumping on him once and he freaked out). Anyways he usually is patrolling his cage and really active. Today though he ate bugs in the morning, and for the whole rest of the day he's just been sitting on the same leaf not really moving around much. I turned on his basking light earlier because I am moving to the north soon and he's going to have to get used to it being on. (I live in the south right now so I never really turn on the basking light.) Anyways, I turned it on for like 20 minutes and he just froze and stared at the light and didn't really move. I think he's scared of the basking light? It's a natural soft white light incandescent. I turned it off a long time ago but he's still just sitting on the same leaf with his tail curled not moving. Is this normal? Do chameleons sometimes just have days where they chill? His eyes haven't closed at all. So he isn't sleeping. He's just been sitting hunched on one peace looking around for like 2 hours now.
